This is probably the best video online about how to make side seam pockets, short, clear and easy to follow. One suggestion would be that if you are ever thinking of re-making this video, to perhaps use fabric that clearly has a right and wrong side, as in a print fabric. Understanding how to get the right sides INSIDE the pocket can be tricky for a newbie.
Best, easiest to clearly understand tutorial on putting in pockets. Their inside/outside nature makes my brain feel pretzeled when I try to imagine them!
I did this today for the first ever pocket I sewed into my first ever me-made dress (the pattern doesn't include pockets, sacrilegious!), and it worked like a charm! The instructions were so easy to follow and the result looks great. Thanks a lot for making this video!
I have read and reread my pattern on how to put the pockets into a pair of kids' pants and this video saved me. very clear and easy to understand. By far the easiest sewing video that I have seen yet. Thank you so much
This is my go-to video whenever I set pockets into my pants. Straight forward and to the point, clear as a bell without a lot of talky talky, and the camera angle is just perfect. Thanks!
This video was a revelation! I can not tell you how much I have over-thought this process, and how needlessly complex my technique was! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
I agree that was the best and easiest and clearly understandable description of how to put in a pocket! I made a pair of pants today, a prototype for something I'm making, and I've done it before. I couldn't figure out how to do it! And finally I just left the pockets off. I should have come to you first! Now I know when I make the actual pants what to do! Thank you so much, great video!
I return to this video time and time again. The most clearly stated tutorial I have seen on this topic. Thank you! Pura Vida from Costa Rica Central America
Thank you for the clear and understandable instructions. I love it when I find someone like you that can explain something with out all the needless chatter. I will l be following you for sure.
Very concise and clear tutorial. I now get how to “pocket”. I like how you get straight to the point. Have subbed and looking forward to watching more of your tutes. Thanks.
Yay! You helped me overcome my fear, and I just finished adding pockets to a muumuu I'm making. Excellent, easy to follow tutorial with no unnecessary fluff! MUCH appreciated
Lots of videos out there as to how to sew in pockets to the side seams and yours was the easiest and least complicated one to follow. Thank you for putting this tutorial up there is was a great help to me. One look and with your simple explanation, I got it and quickly put the pockets into my just-bought palazzo pants that, sadly, had none in them. Now, I'm a happy customer thanks to you!
Very useful, thank you. I’m making a dress with pockets and wasn’t sure whether to attach the pockets with the same seam allowance as usual. Now I know!
Thank you, really helpful, though the dark fabric, and same appearence on both sides, got me a bit confused, and I couldn't see the top stitching, so still not sure whether it shows from outside or not? Very helpful on technique though.
@@TheAwlNighter1 I tend to be busy making things for others and make nothing for myself. That’s why I started watching videos pertaining to making clothes. So why not practice on some pajama bottoms for somebody else first ha ha. But my mother desperately needs ones that fit she’s lost so much weight as she is getting older and it’s dangerous having some of these clothes almost falling off of her A decent pair of pajama bottoms off of Amazon in Canada is $20. I could make a pair for less plus mailing
I finally found some adorable fabric I’m going to practice making some pajama shorts for me first and use your method to do pockets because your method is so much better than what else I’ve been looking at
Thank you for this so much. I have an independent pattern that was basically telling me the sam thing but it just didn’t make sense in the written directions.
Excellent tutorial thank you. Very to the point, I love it. Could you please explain how best to finish off the raw edges of the pocket, and is it best done before or after you’ve sewn in the pockets? Many thanks again xx
An overcast stitch or pinking shears are probably the easiest ways. Depending on the pocket shape, you could also bind all the seam allowances. It really depends on the project and how fancy you want to get!
@@TheAwlNighter1 -- If I go shopping for slacks (in person or online), they better have pockets! The deeper the better, too. Now thanks to you (and me buying a sewing machine very recently), I can be sure to have all pockets I want!
Does this also work if you want to cut in at the front? So I'm thinking the back half of the pocket bag should show right side of fabric. The front half of the pocket bag and the front of the trousers would be sloped in slightly towards the centre. Will the method still work?

Yes that was my biggest challenge !

Finally a super well done video on how to add a pocket AS your a making a garment not as an afterthought THANK YOU
I just wanted to say thank you for making this quick and easy. Not a bunch of junk to listen to. Thank you again
Yes I know exactly what you mean, I often watch Evelyn Wood of vintage sewing school and she takes forever to get to the point it gets to be obnoxious

Short and simple, just the kind of videos I love. No need for 15 minutes videos for a 2m project. Thank you for a great short and sweet tutorial!

Great reminder of how to- but delighted with your demo of adding the 'extra' stitching to retain the pocket inside! Well done!
Finally a pocket video without the bla blabla. This was simpler than some of the videos that almost had me throw my laptop out the window. Amazing!
I've been staring at my pattern for an hour trying to make sense of how to put the pocket in. Thank you so much for this! You're a pocket hero!
You are an excellent teacher. Thanks for making this easy to understand video.
